Contextual Overview

6 When thy brother - son of thine own mother or thine own son or thine own daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend who is as thine own soul, shall entice thee secretly, saying, - Let us go and serve other gods, whom thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; 7 of the gods of the peoples who are round about you, who are near unto thee, or who are far off from thee, - from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth, 8 thou shalt not consent unto him, neither shalt thou hearken unto him, - neither shall thine eye look with pity upon him, neither shalt thou spare - neither shalt thou conceal him; 9 but thou shalt slay, him, thine own hand, shall be on him first, to put him to death, - and the hand of all the people afterwards. 10 And thou shalt stone him with stones that he die, - for he hath sought to seduce thee from Yahweh thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of servants. 11 And, all Israel, shall hear and fear, - and shall not again do according to this wickedness in thy midst.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you,.... As of the Edomites, Moabites, Ammonites, and Phoenicians:

nigh unto thee; as the above were, being on the borders of their land: the Targum of Jonathan interprets this of the idols of the seven nations, that is, of the land of Canaan: or

far off from thee; as the Babylonians, Persians, and others:

from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; which includes all the idols in the world, worshipped by whatsoever nation, and which were forbidden; and which shows the universality of idolatry in those times, and that that is an insufficient argument in its favour. Jarchi interprets this of the sun and moon, and the host of heaven, who go from one end of the world to the other; and this seems to have been the first and most common idolatry of the Gentile world, and which were worshipped in the several deities they set up.
